  • Let the ship sink.

  • Anyone who needs to be told what happened to Detriot (mispelled) is blind. It's the same thing that happened to Oakland,CA, St. Louis, Cleveland, and a host of other cities. Even Washington D.C. would rival Detroit if not for federal dollars that Detroit doesn't have. In 1945, Detroit was one of the most prosperous cities in the country, with a strong middle class. What Detroit looks like today is what the rest of the country will look like if Obama is reelected. Think about it.

  • @juscurious

    Detroit in 1945, was good because people still payed extra for american cars and because there were not a lot of blacks in the city, hard but true.

    Blacks and the fact people buy cars just to get to A to B, rather than, status and to flaunt it, is what caused the failure of motor city.

  • @ThePunisherNWO No. the same thing happened in seattle, this is a majority white city. Only difference between here and there is that we diversified the economy, those dumb blacks in motown tried to revitalize the manufacturing sector while it continued to decline w/o a backup plan. If those morons do not find a way to bring different types of business they're going to go into the gutter.

  • @juscurious yes,,,,it's sad...it's like what happened to buffalo...buffalo is the twin of detroit..but with the second biggest rail network in america.....for christ sake...this is our country..we should have taken that bail out money and rebuilt both

  • @juscurious Lol, i don't think anyone from the U.S.A. can save you now, U.S.A. need a lot of help, just saying..

  • I live very close to Detroit myself, and my heart pangs for it every time I go there.

    I feel like Detroit has a chance; it can still be revived by a tiny spark of hope. But that spark is fading quickly, and there isn't much time left...

  • @japanesepoptart Buy a tombstone and write on it "RIP Detroit, may you be missed more in death than you were cared for in life. 1701 - 2011" Then record a video of it in a fake grave and put it on youtube. Then either send the video or the tombstone itself to Washington. Hopefully it should be enough to create that spark before its too late.

  • THIS is the liberal utopia.

  • Detroit is already bankrupt, all the people with money have left the city and moved to the suburbs

  • Detroit isnt all black

  • @nashville1510 Over 85%, about 10% hispanic, and 5% other

  • @iamslknick78 Soon the whole U.S. is going look like this after, the The Big Banks get done looting America. America's 15 Trillion dollar debt is growing, Bankruptcy is the inevitable.

  • @richradtylr4 What does the debt have to do with banks? Quit blaming "the man". What are you, about 21? Get off your ass, get a job, and learn something about the world.

  • @iamslknick78 I'm talking about the 7.7 Trillion dollars that the Federal Reserve use to ''bail out'' Big Banks, you know, Well Fargo, Bank Of America, Goldman Sachs, etc..

  • @richradtylr4 and what would happen if they didn't? I know you don't have a savings account, 401k, mortgage or anything else. Why don't you go back to commenting on video games.

  • Maybe if hundreds of thousands of Whites flood into Detroilette we can achieve an ethnically DIVERSE and once again successful community?

    Is Cultural Morality only for White children? Why aren’t “anti-racists” saying “Detroit needs more Whites?” Why is NO ONE saying “non-white neighborhoods need more diversity?” Because DIEversity is ONLY achieved once there are NO MORE WHITE CHILDREN. They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.

    Anti-racist is a code-word 4 anti-white

  • People need to stop making it a fucking black/white issue!!!!!!!!!!!! WE NEED TO GET THINGS RIGHT DOWN HERE!!!!!!!!! Lets ALL work together and make this happen! Detroit has been terriable for a while when it comes to money, police, lighting, (just to name a few)!! and this is comming from someone who lives here and works here!!!!!!!! Can't make a change unless we change ourselves!!!!!!!

  • Niggers, Niggers everywhere.

  • So many blacks..and they wonder why they're broke. rofl.

  • sell it to cananda

    

  • let the city go bust........

  • I just saw a video of Senator Perry saying "the US is the greatest nation on the face of Earth and continues to be a beacon for freedom...."

    OHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHH

  • This reminds me of how Republican Big Government is always telling us everyday people what to do and how to live. GOP says you can't go to Planned Parenthood, (we wanna defund it.) You gays can not get married (so we can accuse you of Fornicating). You can not do you own Free Thinking, you must be obedient sheep. GOP Governor will banish your legally elected city mayor and officials and install our dictator.....Oops....We mean our unelected, appointed "Emergency" Manager.

  • That's what happens when you put to many niggers on one place, you have to sprinkle those pavement apes out or you end up in a lazy run down nigger village, it's no different than africa, bunch of dumbass niggers that supposedly live in the most resource rich continent but still can't tie their nigger shoes, we should just wipe them out like the shit from our asses, one and done, the only good nigger is a dead nigger.

  • @irishphil757 I'm a 54 y/o White Irish-German American and I get sick and tired of White people blaming Blacks, etc for all the problems. I don't care if you call me a n*g**r love cuz God the Son, Jesus died for the Blacks (and others, even you) to save them from Hell, He's a n*g**r lover too, so I'm in GOOD company!! You can't wish death on anybody cuz the Wrath of God will be ON YOU!!!

  • @irishphil757 You seem like a nice person!!! :)

  • Same shit, different day. What's new in the D?

  • Politics can't help the financial management will loose their jobs as well. Obama's selling wolf tickets. The us is done that's why there's 20 border patrol agents for every cop in the city and we never had an illegal alien problem. They will man the camps. Look up the female camps in Mich u might be suprised

  • The truth is Detroit represents America to the fullest. It is a microcosm of the whole us and will soon mirror the district of Columbia in strife. A clear thinking individual would say nafta and the states unwillingness to fund a major city controlled by black people lead to this crissis but I know that as Americas biggest manufacturer Detroit contributed more to global warming-see conference in durbin- more to the dependence on oil, the destruction of the earths land and now is atonement

  • Detroit is a typical American city, being that it has only 3-4% Whites living on the outskirts and the meat of the city is nonwhite/black. That being said, I believe you can deduce as to why Detroit is the way it is by my first sentence.

  • @Catalysis24 You are an idiot and a damn liar. The city is the way it is is because GM and all the major manufacturers decided to move Operations to non American hubs outside of the US so they can keep a lions share of their profits for themselves. This was done by White people to White people. Stop scapegoating you A**HOLE!

  • I think zookeepers need to tame the streets of Detroit these days.

  • I wish there was a way to replace the city board with Robots.

  • the whole US is broke not just detroit

  • an estimated 10 billion dollar debt?!?!...........O_O

  • damn...

  • Lotta weight in those chairs noone could move?

  • O people come to Islam, verily Islam leads to Eeman and Eeman leads to life, a light in the heart and the best, al-Ihsaan.

    Islam would rectify and reform your problems, your economy, your society and your inner-selves, if you only but knew.

    And verily the good end is for al-Muttaqun (the Pious, God-Fearing, God-Conscious)

    May Allah سبحانه و تعالى guide you to Islam.

    Peace.

  • @Asqalane1405

    Allah can suck my dick

  • where is the white people fo Detroit??

  • @skull16cr Their no such thing.

  • Detroit WILL rise again from it's ruins.. If Detroit can recover economically, seems like any city in America can..

  • Comment removed

  • ....the federal govt. spends more funds in Kabul than in Detroit.

  • As Detroit has expanded the size and scope of government, their economy has tanked more and more.

    If Detroit didn't produce incompetent politicians, they'd be producing a lot more cars.

  • There is a great quote well known in Kentucky "If you can't do it here, you can't do it anywhere else"

  • ROFLMMFAOLOL!!! This is what Obama calls the city of our "recovered" automobile industry.

    It's coming. Bank on it.

  • Who wants to buy Detroit?

  • Time to buy the finest real estate in Downtown Detroit... Luxuries one cannot afford in Manhattan, NYC are affordable in Downtown Detroit... :)

  • Emergency Manager / Technocrat. Like in Greece and Italy.

  • Shame

  • Where is Robocop when you need him?

  • Saying Detroit is on the bring of bankruptcy is like saying Imhotep is on his deathbed. Detroit is long, long, LONG gone.

  • Housing developments are a sign of recovery ? no they are a sign of wealth transfer.

  • "Emergency Manager" that would also be known as an act of treason. So I guess if you official want to give your cities tax payers the right to round you up and hang you I prolly wouldnt go threw with that.

    Read your laws, if the government as a whole is proven treasonous it is the duty of the people to rise up and remove them using any means necessary. You <3 ur country you are patriotic then defend it from acts of treason like this. Foreign powers arent the only threat to your freedom.

  • It'll be McDetroit, or Detroitmart soon. ._.

  • hmm

  • Too bad. A world class city destroyed by entitlements. Socialism ruined Detroit. Lets see now if African government will work in America. God bless you brothers and sisters. You have a lot of work ahead of you.

  • only hope for america is ron paul but the zionists will never let him get into power

  • detroit in 10billion debt israel gets 3.5 billion of usa per year apart from all the weopons they send and the american zionist media try to keep this shit on the low wtf

  • Using Eminem to try an instil pride... you know you're fucked. lol

  • zionists taken all there money 2 fight unjust wars and give to israel the rest of america soon 3 follow

  • Human existence  entrophy

  • They told us NAFTA will bring jobs in manufacturing because the borders and trade become open. Those with money went south of the border. How has that worked out for us? Made or assembled in Mexico: Cadillac Escalade EXT, Cadillac SRX, Chev Avalanche, Chev Aveo,, Chev HHR ,Chev Silverado, Dodge Journey, Fiat 500, Ford Fusion, GMC Sierra, Honda CR-V, Lincoln MKZ, Nissan Sentra & Versa, Dodge Ram, Toyota Tacoma, Volkswagen Jetta, Freightliner trucks, Kenworth, (New York Times)

  • How do you afford light rail if you're broke? I DON'T GET IT!

  • All of America will soon look like D-Town...

  • @PrecisePuncher I wouldn't be too sure on that. There are ebbs and flows. Some areas falter while others rise and prosper.

  • @krnpowr no offense, but it's time to wake up and smell the global economic collapse

  • This is what happens when all the white people leave.

  • Going Bankrupt? I thought they already are bankrupt, 50% unemployed is not bankrupt? Ask (the state subsidized and billion$ bailed out) GM to hire people and pay taxes from the $5 Billion+ profits on which it is sitting.

  • this is what happens when you have a chronic case of democrats

  • On the brink of bankruptcy huh. I could have sworn Detroit was poorer than poor as it is.

  • White flight, sad but true. Not enough tax payers

  • it's a shame, detroit has potential to be a great city once again..

  • @creamgetthamoney Oh really? And by what means?

  • When will the union understand? resist austerity measures meant a total collapse instead of orderly cut.

  • @mercedescl

    I'll never understand why ordinary, working class people resent someone else making a good wage and pension. I don't make a good wage but how does it hurt me for someone else to? Henry Ford more than doubled the wage of the workers in 1914 and added a profit sharing bonus for his factory workers. Ford became one of America's richest men. Wealthy manufacturers are using unions as an excuse to move elsewhere and pay workers poverty wages.

  • @badgeless Profit sharing is a noble idea. But unfortunately, everyone has their budget to balance. The union gets more, then taxes will have to come from somewhere. There are simply none to be found in the dying city of Detroit.

  • @mercedescl

    \Wages go up, taxes increase, people with disposable income spend it. They go shopping and buy stuff, waitresses get tips to spend elsewhere, people can buy homes, cars etc. Wages go down? tax revenue goes down, people struggle with food and rent and can't buy other stuff. Now the wealthy spot open borders promising cheap labour and little regulation. Mercedes 2nd quarter earnings 2011 (3 months) was NET "to a record 1.7 billion euros" (Bloomberg Business Week)

  • @mercedescl

    Judging by your Youtube name this might interest you: lots of Mercedes C and E Class (and others) are made in Mexico. I doubt you got any advantage of the lower manufacturing costs when - or if - you bought your C Class. The difference in manufacturing cost went into the pockets of the wealthy who really don't care much for low wage earners like myself.

  • @badgeless Lol. The sole mission of any companies is to make maximum profit. I don't care how much it cost Mercedes to build my car as long as I like it and I can afford it. GM, Ford, and Chrysler had lost billions of dollars over the decade in 2000s, is that going to make their cars "well value"? I don't know how many people can earn more their bosses, but so far, I have met none that can.

    A special note thou, Mercedes-benz has a plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, too.

  • @mercedescl

    Companies should make as much money as possible. I endorse that. I don't endorse the removal of regulations so that companies selling stuff in our country and enjoying the benefits of our country use labour in other countries to build their stuff. If Cadillac wants to sell Escalades in the U.S. they should pay wages in the U.S. The result of Globalism is Detroit today. The irony is with fewer people making good wages fewer people can buy Escalades.

  • @mercedescl

    Mercedes makes cars and the M Class at various plants over the world. A Mercedes made in Mexico or Alabama is not necessarily a vehicle of less quality than those made in Germany. It's a good thing foreign workers have jobs but why not worry about ourselves first?

    I doubt you have to worry about paying your bills or getting a job. That's good. I'm happy (sincerely) for you.

  • @mercedescl

    India is a good example of a country that protects it's workers. For example, Walmart cannot set up shop in India because small stores owned by Indian business people will be vulnerable. Textiles of any kind are not allowed in India, the list goes on. Tariffs for goods imported to India are high to make them competitive for Indian companies. Yet, many Indian companies make lots and lots of profits. Seems like a win, win, to me.

  • @badgeless Wahahaha Look at Indian economic progress compare to China, you will understand that, by having protectionism, growth and advancement will be significantly slower with increased pricing and opportunity cost. I have to remind you that India is in fact experiencing a huge land grab issue against local farmers and child labors are much more common in India than China or the US.

  • @mercedescl That land grab thing, and child labor too, is a matter of corruption, a failure of law and politics, not a result of protectionism, wouldn't you agree? And their economy's growing lots better than ours, tariffs notwithstanding, right? It's corruption, the bribes that take 20% of low-wage-earners' income, not tariffs, that holds India back.

  • @mookins45 Lol. I don't understand what school you came from. Protectionism doesn't work because one does the others will react. Consumers end up paying higher price for lower variety and lower quality products. And eventually, when the door slips open, the domestic industries will be backward and uncompetitive at all. If you look at Indian railway, healthcare, auto industry, logistic industry, and service sectors, all of them are hurting India by their inefficiency and subpar service

  • @mercedescl Dude, I DON'T come from any economic schooling! And what you're telling me here makes absolutely perfect sense! Really that's why I type in these comments- I hope to get insightful answers and yours is one. Thanks for the info!

  • @mercedescl

    A U.S. Dept of Commerce International Trade Administration report, 2008 says auto tariffs for cars imported into China are 25%. Auto parts are taxed between 10 & 15%. Additional to that China applies a 17 percent VAT. A new excise tax applied in 2006 ranges from 3 percent for cars with engines less than 1.5 liters to 20 percent for cars with 4 plus liters. China has the fastest growing economy in the world. A subsidiary of GM is the 2nd largest car maker in China.

  • @badgeless Lol. I don't know what you are trying to prove in your statement. China only has 1/10 of the US GDP per capita but Chineses are paying for 150% price for the same iPad and BMW 3-series. If you want to pay more for the same goods to support the so called domestic business, be my guess.

  • @mercedescl

    I see it simply, if we don't make anything here we don't have the jobs making the stuff. We end up with Detroit. Walmart does what they do best: make money. It's not their fault our jobs are disappearing. It's harder and more expensive to get stuff into China than it is for them to send their stuff to us. Not fair. I always looks for goods made in the U.S. or Canada. It's almost impossible to find anything. I will pay more if I find something. I will pay more.

  • @badgeless You just don't read, do you? In fact, the US manufacturing sector has phenomenal growth in value and productivity throughout the 1990s and 2000s. But the reality is the US is too expensive to make simple AAs batteries or house hold items anymore. Therefore, high tech manufacturing sectors only need few hundreds engineers to make the same profit from thousands of workers. If Americans are willing to work for $2/hr, companies will be glad to directly compete with China.

  • @mercedescl More jobs are lost to mechanization, ie, robot run factories. But, robot factories don't produce jobs.

  • @Swansen03 Lol. robots need repairmen, designers, financiers, salesmen, etc etc. Robots are here to replace humans, but they can't completely replace them all, yet. Economy is a game of fortune and talent. There are always winners and losers.

  • @mercedescl no, i understand that, i guess i was being a little vague and understated... I honestly have no idea why i wrote "don't produce jobs". However, i think its fair to say the number of jobs required in a robot run factory is far less, or else there would be no point in having a robot run factory(from a standpoint of business). I think there are other issues as to why not all factory jobs are replaced by robots. as if we could just do it tomorrow.

  • @Swansen03 As long as technologies advances, market changes, society progresses, etc etc, there is no turning back. The real world is an unforgiving place for losers. Nintendo, Ericsson, Razor, Blackberries, GM, Chrysler, PanAm, ...... No matter how big, how strong, how long, any big businesses, and any type of jobs, can be out of their era when the next thing has came.

  • @mercedescl yeah, i get that. Hmm, well, i guess, my original point had to do with the fact that the majority of positions are lost to automation vs outsourcing, people don't really understand that point. As far as our current socioeconomic system yeah, all you stated is a given. but there are other complexities as well aside from a "market failure" based on "poor decisions" and "lack of outlook"

  • @Swansen03 People are just having no idea about how complex modern manufacturing and globalization have became. Think of Japan Tsunami and Thailand flood, those affected areas are only producing or assembling a part of the chains of supply, but they already disrupt global factories and service sectors. A single product such as d-cam can have hundreds of parts coming from several nations. The US is part of the grand web of global economy; cutting off from it = death of the economy.

  • @mercedescl You are right, i agree. It is curious though, all these transitions, we are told are made to stabilize a potential economy(as well as other aspects), shifting to a global economy was suppose to do much the same, but, its now obvious this was not the case at all. So the question is now what happens from here, there are always many options.

  • @Swansen03 Not really. These changes won't "stabilize" a potential economy in any meanings. These are just the changes that individual companies found to make them more competitive. In the macro economic point of view, globalization and outsourcing are also making the economy as a whole bigger and more efficient. In any transitional period, economy will also be destabilized by overproduction, shifting markets and resources, and inaccurate monetary policies. Future is "no one knows".

  • @badgeless And the story doesn't end here. China may take the credit for all "value" of the goods that are sold in the US. But in reality, raw materials (Africa & Australia), fuel (Iran), critical components (Japan & Southeast Asia), chips (Japan & Korea), designs and research (the US), marketing (the US), and a whole chain of processing (the US) are all making profits. For example, iPhone only gives 5% to the manufacturers (China); the US takes 15% taxes and 45% profit(apple).

  • @badgeless And you have distracted yourselves from the reality: the city has ran out of money. Either layoffs or cutting services or both or no one is getting paychecks from the city.

  • @badgeless please look up the GM job bank. Union makes the company pay workers to sit in a room reading the newspapers. Too many entitlements killed Detroit

  • OMG,shhhhhh chinese will hear about this,and will buy Detroit,or take it for compesation for money that US own to China.

  • @dzenangojak That would be the best thing ever to happen for Detroit.

  • they brought it on themselves

  • Really???

    Detroit is one of the highest crime rates and murder rates in the US. Downtown detroit is a slum. Its gov. also financially mismanaged it along with corruption.

    Well on the good side...houses and property are cheap in Detroit, and the the criminals probably moved to greener pastures like CHICAGO. That's probably why the crime rate in Chicago is up since the criminals in Detroit moved there since the citizens of Detroit have no money to rob.

  • @Bander1 If you're population decreased by over 60% in a few decades, no amount of financial brilliance will save you. Tax revenue drops ever single year, how exactley does one manage that?

  • @Bander1

    That's a pretty heavy Joke. The Criminals in Detroit stay in Detroit. The Criminals in Chicago rob the citizens blind, but it runs like clockwork. Chicago's crime rates are by no means up because of anything to do with Detroit. Chicago is a City of 9 million. 2 years ago,Detroit was a city of 300 thousand.

  • @Bander1 not sure what the point of this post is.... your criminals are Detroit's responsibility?

  • @Bander1 and thats why we(Chicagoans) give them good ole southside beatdowns when they try to mug us.

  • this is what happens when a city is ran by black people lol

  • Amazing how Detroit fell so quickly. Now it is a ghost town.

  • Let me in their detriot ! I'll help manage your remaining balance to survive !

  • whitey all left. white flight.

  • @mrzack888 Well, there's an explanation based in reality, not racism: Since Reagan's time, American industry's been union-busting and shipping jobs overseas. See, the 1% don't give a damn about us Americans, and no matter how white and racist you are, they won't think any more highly of you; you're still just a commodity to them. Like, oh, what's that word? Oh, yeah: slave.

  • 30 yrs ago I got as far away from Detroit as I could.

  • looks who's running the city...SURPRISE!

  • this is bcuz blk ppl rule that city

  • Hey Detroit,

    if you need a mayor that is good at cutting all the services in the city, we have one!

    Come pick him up!

    Sincerely,

    Toronto.

    P.S. beware he will cut everything.

  • Spend, spend, spend! Tax, tax, tax! Where is the money spent. Talk is cheap, but greed runs deep. Fiscal conservatives are needed. Tough love is needed. Welfare reform. Too many fat people sitting doing nothing. Clean streets, parks. Wash public vehicles, sweep floors. Give people dignity, even the lazy ones. Cut government spending, salaries, retirement! Use common sense. Stop being politically correct.

  • @Walhei960 its often not that simple. Detroit has issues with public service coverage and mismanagement. There are parts of the city that are isolated from others where at times basic services like utilities aren't available. It would be better to probably to break city up into self governing districts while the city government controls very little.

  • Say no to unions!

  • I would just like to thank Al Jazeera for uploading these material and allowing the Youtube Community to discuss it. THANK YOU AL JAZEERA!

  • Haiti with snow.

  • Comment removed

  • get rid of unions,and america could be great again,yet people keep falling for the same old thing,over and over,cause everyone is a follower,stop doing what everyone else is doing and do what the other people are doing,if most people watch football,dont watch football,if most people have credit dont have any credit.

    im being serious

  • @imatelly Agreed. The US also needs to enforce higher standards for who can hold a public office, especially at the municipal level. Harrisburg PA's remarkably inept Mayor also tries to turn official meetings and hearings into prayer sessions, hoping to retain the approval of weak-minded voters.

  • @OMGlab GO Penn state, don't stop at the bishop arrest. just take more trash from N.Y. to pay for the bills and let it burn.

  • @OMGlab

    to make matters worse, these engineering programs in the US poorly train the students. Students who want to enter the job markets in Germany, Japan, etc have a difficult time doing it due to missing coursework in their curriculum that's CRUCIAL for the job.So Americans are being locked out of other job markets. I think the situation in the US is ensuring that Americans in general can make no escape for better opportunities.

  • @imatelly unions literally make up less than 5% of the workforce please stop spreading this lie!!

  • @imatelly oh yeah, I can totally see foot ball being the demise of this great nation... not crooked politicians... nope... blame it on FOOTBALL... LMFAO!

    FAIL!

  • @imatelly I like u philosophy on life. what to do if its 50 50. 50% doing it, other 50% is not. what to do then? or what if theres 3+ choices? what if u not sure if most ppl are doing it?

  • Detroit is not the only city "That's On It's Knees In America"..Tell the Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth!

  • youtube commenters are mental

  • This is what Black rule looks like...

  • @return135 This is what Ass holes look like.

  • This is what happens when black people are in power.

  • @cougayer Si blacks are in power in europe?

  • ahhaha black in charge ahahaha

  • @Valdris1987 Insecure much?

  • A lot of ignorant comments here. All racist research the fallacy Hasty Generalizations or be a bigot.

  • @darrouken They will chose being short sighted of course. Its easier to be simple minded. Such videos like the one above brings out the racists and ignorant folk alike out of the woodwork. This is the frothy, thick and wet climax to their inept ideology... being gross of course but you get the point, i hope.

  • @darrouken Welcome to you tube comments section

  • you should send those coloured people back to Africa

  • @shadowq2 and all romanians back to gypsyland...

  • @shadowq2 That is a "colorful" opinion. If that option is on the table, then a lot of other people need to be sent back to their respective countries of origin too (europe, asia?). People should be judged according to personal characteristics that they CAN control (knowledge, perspectives, WORK ETHIC, adherence to ridiculous dogma, etc.).

  • @shadowq2 And while you're at it send the europeans back to europe.

  • Failure of government once again. Government can't do anything right.

  • i just see a bunch of black people suffering the economic mistakes done by a "white" govt.

    and yeah ... they need Robocop to save the day.

  • who knew that Neo-Nazis would be invading eco-fascist Al-Jazeera?

  • By the view of it, they should just shut it down and send everybody packing. It's a waste of money trying to save this place.

  • lotta black people in Detroit.

  • @MrAzulHakim and the fact that the industrial base was lost has nothing to do with it?

  • @Xenthoid do not try and use reason when debating a Neo-Nazi. It's a waste of your time.

  • @gshooting I know. Logic and reasoning skill escape the inept. I used to eat simpletons like him/her alive in exhaustive debate a few years ago. Those days are over. It was a waste of time but i did it just for fun.

  • @MrAzulHakim Haha, how do you know?

  • They need RoboCop

  • They need Robocop....

  • @tradernorton05

    nah man detroit is like northern england in that they were both heavily involved in wealth creation years back, but as foreign countries are now industrialising and have lower labour costs, the companies moved there. detroit and northern england should rejuvenate their cities with other industries.
